While sebum, an oily substance made of fats, is necessary for keeping skin moisturised, an overproduction can clog pores and make your face look shiny. Enlarged pores are a characteristic of oily skin, as they are likely to produce excess oil. This overproduction creates an oily feeling that returns even after cleansing your skin.
